Altered Shoe




If there is one thing I have learned through doing mixed media art it's that if I have an idea for something, I may have to wait to find JUST the right article I want to work on...Such is the case with this shoe that I just completed for my good friend, Velma. It is a little girl's Capezio tap shoe! This piece is entitled "Life is a Dance" and the theme fits Velma so perfectly.


If you notice, there's an angel inside on a card~Velma is one of the amazing people in my angel book, Angels at My Door, so I wanted to include that in the shoe to indicate life's blessings. This will be making its way to her this week.

There is someone named Sheridan who needs our prayers right now~I hope that you will scoot down 2 posts to read about his story and pray for him. Thank you all for being such angels!

XO
Cindy

I love what you did with the shoe!

Marti said...

Love your shoe, wonderful work as usual. And thank you for letting all your friends know about Sheridan. The doctors say that he is a miracle boy. Granted he has major facial injuries, but not another scratch on him. They said it was a miracle that he was alive, and not paralyzed.

Lesley said...

Lovely shoe for your friend Cindy.
Thank you for the inspiration.
I will say a prayer for Sheridan for a quick recovery, poor little one.
